Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard is ready for the 46th edition of the Heineken Regatta

SINT MAARTEN (SIMPSON BAY) – The 46th edition of the Sint Maarten Heineken Regatta is scheduled to commence on March 5th and concluding on March 8th. This popular annual event is celebrated for its exceptional sailing competition and the unforgettable parties it offers. A key collaborator in these efforts is the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard, which dedicates its resources to maintaining safety and order on the waters throughout the event. Annually, the Coast Guard integrates the event into its operational calendar, allowing for the strategic allocation of additional personnel training and the acquisition of supplementary equipment specifically tailored to meet the demands of the regatta. This proactive approach ensures the event not only runs smoothly but also upholds the highest standards of safety and security for all participants and spectators. The Coast Guard will be patrolling with the Metal Sharks, the Poema Cutter and other units to ensure safety at sea during the regatta.
